won't chuck hagel be asked, are you in favor ever this zero troop option that is on the table? >> there is no question he'll be asked about it directly, this is one of the things that concerns you know, hawks in washington and elsewhere, is over the past several years it's been seen as leon panetta, and before him bob gates, you know, if not being hawkish at least in the intraadministration debates taking a position that was to the right of the president. i think with chuck hagel there is a very real propect that he will be basically in agreement with the president or maybe coming to these arguments from a more dovish prospective. i think that concerns republicans in the senate but also maybe some moderate centrist democrats in the senate. martha: very interesting. thank you so much. bill: if the government bailed you out why would you taourp you turn around and sue it? martha: we will have more on that. also joe biden sitting down with the video-game makers in a push to stop gun violence. at what point do parents need to take responsibility for what their kids are doing at hom
